Castello di Volpaia
About
Castello di Volpaia is a family‑owned winery tucked in the medieval village of Volpaia, a short drive from Siena in the heart of Tuscany’s Chianti Classico region. The estate spans 900 acres of terraced vineyards, olive groves, and woodland, all maintained with strict organic practices that have earned it international acclaim. Visitors can wander through the village’s narrow, cobbled streets and explore the courtless cellar rooms, where winemakers employ temperature‑controlled techniques that preserve the terroir’s unique character. In addition to wine, the estate offers cooking classes, traditional Tuscan meals at the on‑site Osteria and La Locanda, and several accommodation options—including charming rooms within the village, a boutique lodge two kilometres away, and intimate villa stays with garden views. With a blend of historic charm, culinary delights, and world‑class wines, Castello di Volpaia delivers an immersive Tuscan experience for travelers of all ages.
